The live-action film Onee-chan no Midori-kun, based on the manga by Meguro Amu (published by Shueisha), has unveiled its first teaser trailer and official poster visual. The production has also announced two additional cast members: Kumada Rinka and Matsumoto Reisei.
Story
The film follows Sui, a high school girl who falls for Midori — her older sister’s boyfriend. Despite initially disliking him for always treating her like a child, Sui discovers an unexpected gentleness in Midori when the two end up studying together for her entrance exams, and her feelings begin to change.
The teaser features Hashimoto Masao (timelesz) as Midori and Nakajima Runa as Sui, depicting Sui’s helpless attraction to Midori alongside a shot of him smiling in the driver’s seat wearing glasses. The clip closes on a brief but striking cut of Midori saying, “Bye-bye, Sui-chan.”
New Cast Members
- Kumada Rinka as Sakinae Momo — Sui’s older sister and Midori’s girlfriend. She is a capable, dependable, and cool big sister who deeply cares for Sui.
- Matsumoto Reisei as Mizukawa Sho — Sui’s childhood friend who is aware of her feelings for Midori, yet harbors his own feelings for her.
Cast Comments
Kumada Rinka (as Sakinae Momo)
“This is a story with a setup unlike anything I’ve done before, and from the moment I read the script I was really looking forward to playing the role. Momo was a challenging character, but she’s a strong, responsible woman with a cool edge, and I had a lot of fun bringing her to life. The set had such a warm atmosphere, and I think that warmth comes through in the film itself. We all worked together with the original manga as our guide, so I hope everyone is looking forward to it!”
Matsumoto Reisei (as Mizukawa Sho)
“When I was offered the role, I was genuinely thrilled — it had been a while since I’d been in a romance project. As I read through the manga, I found myself caught up in it as a reader, torn between rooting for Team Midori or Team Sho. Capturing the moments when the usually cool Sho lets his emotions show, as well as the charm and cuteness that works so well in manga form, was delicate and difficult work. But I did my best to honor the source material. I hope audiences enjoy what makes Sho special in this film version.”
